Yeah, I'm not sure if there are very good alternatives to that. Everything I've seen tends to go in that direction: markup language + stylesheet language. But HTML and CSS for sure aren't the best.

There's HAML and Pug, which I did enjoy writing much more than HTML.

I like flutter's design where you do your markup and styling as code, and then it gets rendered via opengl. So you get that native performance without having to deal with the whole browser stack.

I don't like how almost all software these days is just web apps masquerading as native apps, but they're just so damn easy to write compared to anything else.

Yeah, we definitely need better UI frameworks with a clean and easy approach. So far, I've been enjoying Slint, but that's also because I refuse to touch HTML/CSS/JS.
